Forging & Dapping Bench Block — 4 × 4 Inch Hardened Steel Face on Wooden Base
Set this under your work for stamping, riveting and forging and the blow goes where it should — into the metal, not the bench. The hardened 4 × 4 inch face gives a non-yielding surface for clean letter punching and flattening, and it earns a place in the doming and forming side of the workshop too.
The steel sits in a solid wooden base that soaks up vibration and takes the ring out of each strike, while lifting the block clear of your benchtop so nothing underneath gets marked. The top face carries a smooth, non-polished finish suited to a broad range of metalwork, from first practice pieces to daily production.
- A solid, 4" × 4" hardened steel block provides a non-yielding work surface.
- Sits on a solid wooden base designed to absorb vibration and reduce noise.
- The wooden base raises the steel block to protect your benchtop from marking.
- The top face has a smooth, non-polished finish suitable for a range of metalwork.
- All our tools are UK-stocked and ready for immediate dispatch.
